At present, the world’s well-known Android mobile phone manufacturers Samsung, Huawei, motorcycles, etc. have launched their own folding screen phones, and even news that Google folding-screen phones will be unveiled, but Apple has not seen any signs.
However, according to various sources of news, Apple is indeed carrying out related research and development of folding screen smartphone, iPhone 13, and the completion rate is quite high, but Apple has high requirements for the design and quality of the phone, so it has not been officially unveiled.
According to the latest forecast by Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will launch the first folding screen iPhone 13 in 2023 and will use the 8-inch QHD+ OLED folding screen provided by Samsung.

The folding main screen adopts a punching solution in the upper right corner, and the punching area is relatively large. It should retain the components of Face ID and still realize face recognition.
At the same time, the folding screen iPhone 13 has also returned to the rounded body design similar to the iPhone X/11 Pro series, so that it can maintain a better holding experience for large-screen equipment manufacturers.
It is worth mentioning that Apple seems to be equipped with a unique iOS system for the folding screen iPhone 13, which can realize a similar handheld mode on the folding screen that supports hover, and realize some productivity operations, such as being able to operate as a laptop. Full keyboard typing is implemented in the memo.
In addition, there was news that Apple is working with Corning to develop a foldable glass that will equip the folding screen iPhone with a chemically strengthened ceramic protective glass that will not break when bent.
